Adding a Map to Webflow
So, you want to add a map to your Webflow website? No problem!
With a few simple steps, you can easily integrate a map into your site and provide visitors with directions or display specific locations. Let’s get started!
Step 1: Sign up for an API key
Before we can begin, you’ll need to sign up for a Google Maps API key. This key will allow you to access and use the Google Maps service on your website. Head over to the Google Cloud Platform website and follow the instructions to create a new project and generate an API key.
Step 2: Create a new page
In Webflow, create a new page or navigate to the existing page where you want to add the map. You can do this by going to the Pages panel on the left side of the designer interface and clicking on “Add Page” or selecting an existing page.
Step 3: Insert an embed element
In order to add the map, we’ll use an embed element provided by Webflow. Drag and drop an embed element onto your page from the Elements panel. Position it wherever you want the map to appear.
Step 4: Generate map code
Now, head over to Google Maps JavaScript API documentation (developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/overview) and follow their guide on how to display maps using JavaScript. Customize your map settings according to your preferences; for example, you can set default zoom level, center coordinates, or even add markers for specific locations.
Once you’ve configured your map settings, copy the generated code provided by Google.
